Plug valve KEV

electropneumaticcontrolshut-off

VENT VALVE TYPE KEV Being part of the proven KÜHME high-performance valve series for industrial applications, the valve type KEV is used in application area for which a quick and safe relief of gaseous media and fuels is required in between two safety shut-off devices. The electro-pneumatically controlled quick-opening valve sets standards in regards to service life and reliability even in the most demanding applications. Fuels: gaseous Applications: Thermal Power Plants, Gas Turbines & Gas Compressor Units, Steelworks, Refineries & Petrochemical Plants, Biogas & Landfill Gas, Pipeline & Gas Distribution Systems, Industrial Combustion, Air Separation Plants – PSA NOMINAL SIZE: DN 15 TO DN 25 OPERATING PRESSURE: MAX. 16,0 BAR G OPERATING TEMPERATURE: MAX. + 180°C YOUR BENEFITS Opening time < 1 second High safety level through zero leakage Heavy duty design for high amount of operating cycles High-performance valve with a long service life H2-ready OPERATION DETAILS The quick-opening valve is piloted by means of the pneumatic actuator either with a separate solenoid control valve, or in parallel by the solenoid valve of the first automatic quick-closing valve within a safety shut-off valve combination (double block and bleed device).Automatic quick-opening is carried out by the installed spring force in less than 1 second and allows relief of the gas volume into the atmosphere. The valve cone with soft sealing element guarantees absolute tightness (leakage rate A in acc. with EN 12266-1).
